Victorian building guiding just €6 a square foot at Enniscorthy

An Italianate Victorian institutional building on the edge of Wexford’s Enniscorthy is for sale for just €6 per square foot of architectural grandeur, albeit with mixed legacy of previous uses as an asylum/psychiatric hospital.

Redolent in size, length, and previous use terms to of the Our Lady’s complex in Cork city above the River Lee, which is now largely converted to apartments, Wexford’s former St Senans is offered by Waterford estate agent Des Purcell, with 130,000 sq ft of brick-finished buildings including water/bell towers on 46 acres, of which about 15 acres is zoned for residential development.

Guide price, all in, is just €780,000. It’s 1km from the town centre, and has been in continuous medical use for 150 years.
